Long-Term Competitiveness Group

Our Long-Term Competitiveness Group (LTCG) is our senior member body responsible for ensuring that government and regulators develop and implement policies designed to ensure that the UK remains an internationally attractive and competitive place for financial and related professional services firms to invest and do business.

The group provides strategic oversight to our policy work, ensuring that long-term competitiveness issues for the industry are considered and addressed by policymakers as business adapts to technological, environmental, and social change. It is focused on influencing the future shape of the UK’s regulatory, legal, and tax regimes and the approach of its regulatory and supervisory authorities.

With the support of specialist policy committees, the LTCG supports TheCityUK in celebrating the strengths and success of our industry, while ensuring that the UK policy and regulatory landscape continues to evolve in a way which supports the industry’s continued growth and success.

The group is supported by several specialist committees:
